Rangers fans furious over Kevin Thelwell’s baffling transfer of Youssef Chermiti | OneFootball

Rangers fans rage at Kevin Thelwell and his handling of Youssef Chermiti. The £10 million signing now stands as the latest symbol of Rangers’ transfer chaos, with many supporters questioning how such a fee makes sense. For a player who barely influenced Everton, the move fuels anger, suspicion and disbelief across Ibrox.

Supporters question Thelwell’s judgement

Fans on major forums like Follow Follow accuse Thelwell of mismanaging Rangers’ transfer budget. Some posts even claim the deal reeks of favouritism because of Thelwell’s past role at Everton. Rangers supporters insist they have been sold another empty promise while millions vanish from the club’s coffers. They fear that lessons from previous disastrous windows mean nothing under this regime.

The player himself cannot escape pressure. Youssef Chermiti faces the near impossible task of proving his worth to fans who already doubt him. That burden grows not only from the fee but from what it represents: a pattern of reckless, costly decisions. Supporters argue that the same money could have delivered two or three experienced forwards ready to perform now.

Media and pundits join the criticism

The Scottish press show no mercy. Several outlets condemn the transfer as reckless and pin full responsibility on Thelwell for another expensive gamble. Even sympathetic voices admit Rangers paid above market value. Sky Sports highlight the striker’s modest record and question the wisdom of such a move. Journalists and pundits warn that another flop could finish Thelwell’s credibility.

Speculation keeps growing about whether this transfer helped Everton more than Rangers. The close ties between both clubs and Thelwell’s previous job fuel doubts. The Scottish Sun note how supporters demand transparency and clarity. Many fear Thelwell used club funds to rescue Everton’s poor business instead of strengthening Rangers.

Rangers board must face reality

The reaction among fans remains explosive. They demand accountability, not excuses. Thelwell’s recruitment faces intense scrutiny as this deal deepens distrust. Many fans believe the club lost its identity in the market, drifting away from the smart, hungry approach that once built winning Rangers squads. Rangers’ official site confirmed the signing but failed to calm supporters. The board must act before anger turns toxic.

If the hierarchy ignore the outrage, the divide between Ibrox and the stands will only widen. Rangers fans rage at Kevin Thelwell because Youssef Chermiti now embodies frustration and highlights how badly Rangers need leadership in every area.
